In a sleep-addled state I responded to part of a Phishing email. I put in my name, address, and SSN. It's when they asked for my credit card that I stopped and looked again, then confirmed through PayPal that it was a scam email. So they didn't get my CC but did get my SSN. They got the wrong password because for some reason they told me the first one was wrong when it was right. Regardless I changed that password to something very hard to guess immediately. I already have AllClear ID from before when the PSN was hacked and Sony gave it for free. I guess now my question is, is there anything else I need to do to protect myself based on the little information they got?
